Academic and Financial Futures Look Bright for Hogwarts
by Gertude Asia Santerinabria
Not only is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry no longer bankrupt, according to well-placed sources within the school, but the institution is also looking to win the upcoming European Bureau of Wizarding Education Quiz Bowl Scholarship Competition (EBWEQBSC, for short).

"First of all, you aren't supposed to know about that yet," commented Hogwarts Headmistress Anastasia Truebridge, "but second of all, yes, we are planning to win this quiz bowl, and third of all, yes, we WILL finish buying back the rest of the school's repossessed items with the financial prize. Now can I finish my breakfast burrito, please?"

Over the summer, says one source, Hogwarts was returned the deed to their school via a mysterious owl, and returning along with it were all of the school's house elves. For readers who were unaware the deed was even missing, a source within the school says that only the Board of Governors, the Hogwarts staff themselves, and law enforcement were informed of its missing status. Now that it has returned, the future of the school looks to be more secure --- and comfortable, with house elves back in the kitchens. Truebridge refused to allow this reporter access to the elves, but she claims they have not commented on where they were for the past school year or why.

Now, just as students are starting to get into the swing of the 2081-82 school year, they will be asked to jam on their thinking caps and sharpen their quills, as selected students will be participating in this academic competition against two other European schools of magic. Beauxbatons Academy and the Durmstrang Institute will face Hogwarts in what seems to be a Triwizard Tournament of wits.

Spokeswizard Alan S. Richman explained the EBWEQBSC as consisting of "two rounds of three heats each of rigorous, relevant application of the core academic subjects taught at all three schools. Judges from the European Bureau of Wizarding Education will score student performance throughout these heats and rounds, with one winner scooping all the prize money at the end."

Richman adjusted his spectacles, and added, "Think of it as a Triwizard Tournament for academics. Foreign-exchange students from each competing school will help liven up the competition and provide cross-cultural perspectives for the student body of the host school by living at said school during the course of the competition. No, we have not determined which school will host the competition yet. No, we have no further comments at this time. Thank you."
